Model citizen: Ashley Smith goes from H.E.B. cashier to the runway

Is it the major gap between her front teeth? The bombshell
bosom? The feline-tilted blue eyes? The unexpected freckles? JEFF

For soon-to-be-supermodel ASHLEY SMITH, it's the total package
(and happy bit of luck that she comes from the same school of
beauty as current supe Lara Stone).

Photographer and model scout Alan Foreman, who owns Foreman
Management with his wife, Tanni, discovered Smith in Austin. "I was
at South by Southwest, and she walked by.

I just thought her face was amazing. Her lips, her bone
structure were beautiful."

Smith quit her H.E.B. cashier job and lit off for New York,
where she was signed by Trump Model Management but not before being
turned down by other big agencies due to her 5-foot-8-inch
height.

Since then, she hasn't looked back or stopped working. She's
already been featured in Teen Vogue, Elle and iD, and will soon
grace the pages of Love, Tank, W and Numéro . Not to mention
campaigns for Prada and Sisley.
